I like to travel on the train. No driving or stress, you can read,relax, sleep, or even take pictures out the window.Here are a few of the scenes I took from PA to NJ.Some are clearer than others, depending uponhow fast the train was traveling and how quick I waswith the shutter!! :-)

You can hear the roar of the wind and surf as itgears up from this 'nor'easter' You can't imaginehow cold the wind was. I about froze taking thisvideo. I saw on the news where some young mentried to surf and all I could think of was howC O L D it was. Can you imagine?

I may have been freezing but not this gull...He juststood there as if nothing was going on.

While visiting Edison NJ, we also went back to Bayonne wheremy husband worked previously. We were surprised tosee this monument erected in the bay across from NY harbor.

The massive memorial evokes the World Trade Center thatonce sat across the Hudson River. Jagged lines divide themonument into two tower-like pieces, and a 40-footsteel teardrop gently hangs in the open center, like a bell.The 100 foot bronze sculpture is awesome to behold.The base has rows of the names of those who died.

Had I been aware that if you took the picture from the rightvantage point you could get the NY skyline and lady Libertyin the background I would have....but not until I lookedup the site did I know that.

The monument also has been billed as a gift from"Russian President Vladimir Putin. He isseen on the left and President Bush on the right.
